Bluetooth serial devices are weird. They begin life being bound with
RFCOMMCREATEDEV ioctl() and then move around the sysfs tree when they are
connected and disconnected. The connection is estabilished upon the first
open() and torn down upon last close(), their first user virtually being
"owner" of the connection. We don't want to be that process, we're only
interested in actually connected modems. However, currently we have no
knowledge of that and therefore we connect and disconnect multiple times while
probing.
This patch marks unconnected RFCOMM devices as uninteresting to us.
The actual connection and disconnection will be handled by NetworkManager.
We'll try to cope with getting devices being reported in either 'usb' or
'usbmisc', trying to avoid the need of checking kernel version during runtime.
The kernel appears to add the device first without any parents,
then to move it to the correct place in the hierarchy, with its
immediate parent being the device's HCI controller. So we need
to capture the 'move' event too since that's when the rfcomm
device is finally usable.
Ignore devices that aren't completely configured by udev yet. If
ModemManager is started in parallel with udev, explicitly requesting
devices may return devices for which not all udev rules have yet been
applied (a bug in udev/gudev). Since we often need those rules to match
the device to a specific ModemManager driver, we need to ensure that all
rules have been processed before handling a device.
Do this by adding an item to the environment of each device that MM
might possibly be interested in, and ignoring devices that don't
have that. When the device is fully processed by udev, MM will get
an 'add' event and the device will have all rules applied.
